Answer / jaypal reddy

hi guys,i wanna make small modifications to the answer given
by Nemade.When ever tester gets requirements he will read
those and start writing scenarios first.Each scenario is the
method by which perticular feature in the application can be
tested.in this way tester will write different scenarios by
which that perticular feature in the application can be
tested.Now,by considering those scenarious tester will write
all possible testcases for each scenario.

So writing scenarious is mandatory before starting writing
test cases.

Answer / gousia parveen

Test Scenario is what to test.
Test Case is how to test.
In some companies,they directly prepare Testcases from
usecase diagrams
In some companies,They prepare scenarios from those
scenrios,they prepare test Cases,Its all depends upon company.
For example:We have login page with user id,Password and
login button
Here scenario is Login button,
Here Test cases for this scenario are
1.Blank
2.Invalid user id with valid password,
3.Valid user id with invalid password,
4.Valid user and valid password.
Depends upon the client requirements......

Answer / vani

Identifying the TestScenarios is mandatory, with out the
Scenarios writing the testCases is confusion, So only few
Organizations will directly write the testcases, without
the Scenarios.
